Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph:

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. We've got a busy few weeks coming up. Here are a few things going on:

1. Advent Men's Prayer Breakfast -- Tomorrow at 7am the Advent Men's Prayer Breakfasts will begin. Please come and join us in the Parish Hall. We will be discussing the characters of Advent -- the prophet Isaiah, St. John the Baptist, and St. Joseph.

2. Adoration hours postponed-- Due to Peggy Wolverton's visitation and Funeral Mass tomorrow, we will not have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament between 12pm and 4pm.

3. Grand Generation Lunch -- Grand Generation will also be postponed this week. More information to come.

4. Advent  and Confession Schedule -- To help us prepare for the coming of the Lord during this Advent Season, our Advent reconciliation service will be on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at 6pm. If you are not able to make it the confessional will be open on Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm and Sunday at 4:30pm.

5. Angel Tree -- Don't forget the angel tree in the gathering space of the church. This year we are sponsoring six families. Please take a card home to 

6. Parish/Knights Christmas Party -- This year the Parish Christmas Party will be combined with the Knights of Columbus Christmas party. We would like for everyone to attend. It will be Sunday, December 15 at 5:30pm. There will be no evening Mass that day, so come in the morning and then come back for the festivities.

7. Food Pantry Dates for December -- Setup: Friday December 13 @ 10:30 AM, followed by bagging at 11:30, and distribution on Saturday December 14, 2019 at 9am.
